Plot

The narrator becomes acquainted with J in the “Thunderbolt Phenomena Research Club.” The club members are interested in the cases in which lightning and brainwaves leave scars on people’s bodies, and they share the latest studies on the subject. The scar from a lightning on J’s neck arouses fear and curiosity in the narrator, and has a big impact on the narrator’s life.

This is a short story by Kim Young-ha, published in his 1999 short story collection titled Ellibeiteoe kkin geu namjaneun eotteoke doeeonna (What Happened to the Man Who Got Caught in the Elevator). Rather than seriously addressing the issues faced by the characters in the story, it proposes new perspective while traversing the boundary between fantasy and reality.

1999년에 출간한 소설집<엘리베이터에 낀 그 남자는 어떻게 되었나>에 수록된 김영하의 단편이다. 작중 인물이 직면한 다양한 문제를 심각하게 다루는 것이 아니라 환상과 현실의 경계를 넘나들며 새로운 시점을 제시한다.
